Singapore and Vietnam Deepen Cooperation on Green Growth

Singapore and Vietnam have reaffirmed their commitment to advancing green growth and sustainable development through closer bilateral cooperation, with policymakers highlighting the importance of innovation and environmental stewardship in shaping ASEAN's future. The discussions took place during the Vietnam–Singapore Business Forum 2026, where government representatives and experts explored opportunities to strengthen regional collaboration.

The dialogue focused on accelerating the transition towards greener economies by promoting sustainable investment, renewable energy, digital transformation and artificial intelligence. Officials noted that combining technological innovation with sustainability policies will be essential to improving economic resilience while reducing environmental impacts across the region.

Participants also emphasised the growing importance of cross-border cooperation in addressing shared challenges such as climate change, energy security and sustainable infrastructure development. Strengthening partnerships between ASEAN member states was identified as a key step towards achieving long-term regional sustainability objectives and enhancing competitiveness.

The discussions reflect the strong strategic partnership between Singapore and Vietnam, with both countries continuing to expand cooperation in green growth, the digital economy and innovation. By working together on sustainable development initiatives, the two nations aim to support ASEAN's long-term environmental resilience and inclusive economic growth.
